The PEA Awards Categories
Guidelines for entries:
Irrespective of which category you choose to enter, the following details may be relevant: we want to know about the objectives of the project, what it involved, how much was spent and where the funding came from, why you did it and what the results were. If quantifiable, tell us what the project achieved in terms of sustainable development, economy and the environment. Who and what benefited?
Point out any innovative aspects - and whether you consider other organisations/communities could benefit from implementing your methods? You might want to mention what you learnt from the project and how you intend to move forward, indicating whether any further developments are in the pipeline. Please also give details of any relevant accreditation.
For every nomination received we will plant a tree in India with our charity partner Project Green Hands.
